Thanks damiroquai, worked like a charm.

bdbrown Thanks for making me think again. I managed to figure it out and correct my activate and registration pages so the side bar does not appear. I found what I was looking for here if anyone else wants to try to do the same.

yea that is what I been thinking and trying to figure it out. I was hoping someone might have ran into this issue already and could just point me in the correct direction. I will keep looking and maybe come up with the solution.

yea i have tried that before with no success, and just for kicks tried it again with no success.

Josh I am no longer experiencing any issues. Everything seems to be working as it should. Thanks for following up though.

Yea thanks for the info. I figured it out after posting.

How could I incorporate this change in my child theme so I don’t have to bother with it later when the theme updates?

Sorry for the hiatus. I finally figured out what was causing the issue.
While using the plugin better-wp-security I disabled the file editor.
which added this to my wp-config.
define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true);
and that seems to be what was causing the admin to not receive any emails upon new user registration. All other emails were fine just not reg emails sent to admin. once I removed that setting the emails started working again.

Thank you it works like a charm.
